2 Jahre... unfassbar! Ich denke heute ganz fest an Dich! Big Hug Simone"
"I was reminded today that it has been 2 yrs since Uli passed away. Unbelievable! During these 2 yrs, it has become very clear that there are important EW corrections to calculate for the LHC and nobody has done them. The LHC-TI program is very strong and has become an important force in our field. Uli made his mark, but is missed. -JoAnne"
"Ulrich ist unvergessen!

"Dear Yvonne, I only just learned of this tragic loss. Uli was a delight to work and interact with. He will be much missed."
"Dear Yvonne,
I only learned about this tragedy recently.Prof Baur was on my doctoral committee and I considered him both as a mentor and a friend I do not have the words to express deep sense of loss on a personal level. He was anextremely helpful and a cheerful person.
My deepest condolences to you on your loss.
Regards,
Sanjay Raina"
"This is such sad and shocking news. I didn't find out until the Physics Today came out. Uli was a great and greatly unique physicist: a theorist with marvelous ideas who could really make them practical. He helped me so much in keeping up with particle physics while my day job kept me elsewhere, and so I learned of his wonderful personality. I'll share more with his family when I get the chance."
"Dear Yvonne, Uli was a great physicist, emphasizing the importance of precision calculation to nterpret experimental data. Uli presented his talk via video at the 2010 Topical Program at National Center for Theoretical Sciences (NCTS) in Taiwan on Oct. 27 and Nov. 1. The NCTS LHC Physics program has benefited greatly from his participation. We will miss him. -- C.-P. Yuan (Michigan State U.)"
"It is difficult to believe that Uli is no longer with us. I write this in the language we mostly used for our conversations. He was not only a great colleague to whom I owe very much, but what is so hard to find, a true friend. He always encouraged me and gave me hope and understanding, as he took all things with a smile and good humour. Uli, I miss you..."
"Dear Yvonne,
Please accept our sincere condolences for the sudden loss
of our friend and colleague Uli. We'll miss him dearly at the Pheno meetings and the LHC-TI discussions--Uli made such a significant contribution to these endeavors.
His friendship will be long remembered."
"Dear Yvonne and Baur family, after accompanying Uli to his final repose in the Munich Waldfriedhof let us again express our deepest sorrow for this totally unexpected loss - we share your grief with you. We lost a close friend for many decades and will miss him dearly, Karl-Heinz and Setsuko"
"Dear Yvonne, you have my deepest sympathy and condolences for this untimely loss. I knew and worked with Ulrich for more than 20 years, starting in Tallahassee. I will miss both his scientific insights and his friendly smile. All the best, John Womersley"
"Mit tiefer Anteilnahme und Trauer fühle ich mit dir und Ulrichs Familie. Ich bin froh Ulrich persönlich kennen gelernt zu haben, es war eine Bereicherung, die ich nicht missen möchte. Petra"

I really miss you so much!!!"
"Dear Yvonne,
Please accept my deepest condolence and sympathy. I knew Ulrich since 1992 when we collaborated on multiboson physics, a subject to which Ulrich contributed immensely. He was a dear friend and a colleague whose insight into physics was always helpful to many of us. I will miss him personally. Sincerely, Brajesh Choudhary."
"Dear Yvonne,
Ulrich's untimely passing is a shock and tragedy for many of us who knew him very well. Ulrich was my de facto second thesis advisor back in 1994, when I did an experimental thesis on the work made possible by major theoretical contributions from Ulrich. I've since used his wisdom and his advice many times.
My deepest condolences on your loss - our loss...
Sincerely, Greg Landsberg"
"Dear Yvonne, missing Uli's friendly smile in the hallways of Fronczak, makes me realize which void Uli left in the department as colleague, friend and teacher. When I asked my PT if he remembered physics, he described excitedly how 15 years ago as freshman he spent time in Dr. Baur's office to learn mechanics. Uli left many great lasting memories with all of us.Please accept my sincere condolences"
"Dear Yvonne, dear Baur family, please accept my deepest sympathy. It was terrible to hear about Uli's death, and it is still hard to believe. I only knew Uli smiling, and it was always a pleasure to meet him at conferences. He was so warm-hearted, and he always had a nice word. We lost a great person and an excellent physicist."
"Dear Yvonne and Baur family, it was a shock to learn about such tragic loss. Please accept my sympathy and support in this extremely hard time. Dr. Baur was my teacher and mentor during the grad student years. He was always there to help, always with a smile. His enthusiasm was truly contagious and will be missed by us. Please remember that as long as he lives in our hearts, he still lives."
""Dear Yvonne,I am saddened by the news of Dr.Baur passing.I was a student of Dr.Baur.I will always remember him as a great teacher and a wonderful person.Please accept my condolences."
"Dear Yvonne, I didn't only view Dr. Baur as a mentor but also as a friend. His ever present smile and love for talking things through was something I always enjoyed. He was great advisor, a great teacher, and a wonderful person. We will all miss him and our thoughts and best wishes are with you."
"Dear Yvonne, I am very saddened to learn of Dr. Baur's passing. I was a student of his a many years ago and never forgot the time that he gave me in his office hours. He was a gifted teacher and I thoroughly enjoyed his class. Please accept my condolences to you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Matt Smith"
